The Student ID Number is the assigned student number that identifies you in the student information system. This number is not your social security number. Students should take note of this number as it will be the number used on all transactions while the student is enrolled at Midland College.
Although social security numbers are required for state and federal reports and are still requested on the application for admission, all in-house documents, including class rosters, advisement forms, drop and add requests, student ID cards, etc., will carry the ID number rather than the social security number. Transcripts will continue to display the social security number.
